CUSPIDOR.

Be it known thatI, MARK- G. MnLvnv, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Scranton, in the county of Lackawa'nna and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in .Cuspidors, of which the following is aspecification.

' 'My invention relates to that class of cuspivides a foot rest.

'dors which are adapted especially for use in restaurants and wherein the waste pipe pro- The primary object. of my invention is to provide anovel and highly'useful device of 4 the character stated wherein the spray ring carrier is detachably mounted to facilitate the erection of the cuspidors and to facilitate and cheapen their manufacture.

"A further object of the invention is to provide a spray ring which may be cleaned 'clo readily and quickly to free it of all sediment accumulated therein, thus preventing the ing up of the apertures in the spray ring. ith the above and other objects in View,

the invention consists of the construction,

ring, and Fig. 51s a vertical central section of v a slightly modified form of the cuspidor.

Referrin to the drawings by re erehcenumerals, 2 esignates'the sections of a waste pipe, said sections being united by couplings Y 3. The couplings have formed integrally said bow which are to be secured to a floor at therewith or suitably secured thereto, legs '4, a point near the bar to support a waste pipe at an elevation suitable to adapt the same'for use as a foot rest. An internally threaded sleeve 5 rises vertically from the couplin 3 and provides means b which the cuspi or may be secured in'app ie'd position.

6 desi nates the bowl, of the cuspidor, being provided with a depending threaded nipple 7 which is to be receivedby the sleeve 5. i 8 is detachably secured to the bowlffigand has its lower end ofiset to 'provideaflange 9 engaginglthe inner surface of the bowlfi and Specification of Letters Patent. 1 Ab neaeonmeuu ie e, 1906. Serial No. 320,434.

A spray ring carrying member Pater; eaa ll'niy as, 1908.

a shoulder 10 resting upon the upper ed e of the bowl 6. The-upper end of the mom .er 8

is bent downward to provide a flange 1 1. overhanging the bowl 6.- v A tubular arm 12 projectsfrom the member 8 and has its -outer surface threaded, as at 13 for the reception of a packing nut 20.

A spray ring 14 is mountedon the member 8 between the flange 11 and the wall of said member, one end of this ring being extended laterally to provide an extension 15 fitting within and p'rojeetin beyond the extension- 12, the other-end 0 said ring being bent downwardly, as at 17, Fig. 4 of the drawings, and threaded .to receive a threaded cap 16. The undersurface of the ring 14 is rovided with a plurality of a ertures 18. T e spray ring 14 is connecte to a suitable source of water supply by'means of a flexible pipe 19,

which has one end connected to the supply and its other end to the extension 15 1 In erectin my improved cuspidor, the

sections 2 of t e waste p1 e are umted by the.

couplings 3, after which t e legs 4. are secured to a floor at a proper point with relation to a bar. After the waste pipe has been secured in'position, the bowls 6 are secured to the couplings 3 by threading the nipples 'Z'into the sleeves 5, then the spray rm carryin members are mounted upon the owls, an thence the pipes 19 are connected to a suitable source of water supply. "The cus idor being erected in this manner, it shou d be apparent that when the water supply is turned on; the water will be con 'uoted through the pipe 19 to the spra rin 14 and from the spray ringe14 to the owqfi,thus

flushing the bowl ant keeping th'e same free "1:

the bowl to the waste pipe through the nipple."

The modified form in-Fig. 5 of the drawings resides in forming the spray ring 14 and member 8 in one piece. From the fore oing description, taken in connection with t h the construction and mo the invention will be understoo of all foreign matter; the water passing nor details of construction may bemade within the scopeof the invention. without.depart 1171f from' the .spirit or sad 9. .v

ahtages thereotjv flaving fully described and illustrated invention, what I claim is:

*1. In apparatus of the class. desmjbedgigas of the device illustrated e accompanying drawings,

eof o eratlon of without a further extended description. I I I Changes in the form, proportions and mi rificing any .of the Waste pipe, :1. cuspidor connected thereto and having a detachable cover, a spray ring in the under side of such cover, such cover and such spray ring having coacting means to detachably' secure such spray ring to such cover, and a Water connection for such spray ring including a flexible tube, adapting such cover together with such. spray ring to be lifted from the cuspidor.

2. The combination of a Waste pipe, a cuspidor connected thereto and having a, detachable cover provided with a tubular arm, a spray ring in the underside of such cover and having an extension disposed in and extending through thetubular arm of the cover, means to secure such extension of the spray ring to such tubular arm of the cover, and a Water connection for such spray rin including a flexible tube attached to and dischargin into such extension of the spray ring.

11 testimony whereof, I afiix my signature in presence or two Witnesses.
